Comments:
An excellent show in term of the instrumental machine but Robert's
vocals are terrible ... he caught the flu hitchhiking to the show
when his car broke down so they dropped Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp out from
the set. Perhaps the reason they didn't cancel the show was because
the rest of the band was in great shape on that night. On this night
Page’s solos are impressive all throughout. During Dazed And
Confused he plays portions of the riff from The Hunter, and on more
than one occasion the group get into prolonged jams on spontaneous
unknown riffs, probably to further draw out the time before Plant
had to sing again. The outro solo to Dazed contains a nice variation
on the riff from In The Light. The guitarwork in Since I’ve Been
Loving You and Stairway To Heaven again features fantastic Page soloing,
and the collective playing in Over The Hills And Far Away, and The
Song Remains The Same is very good. Robert's vocals stay very low
and his range is not used at all so the band dominates the great medley.

Comments:
Robert's voice is still incredibly weak from the flu, but the band
is definitely on, with Jones and Bonham shining through in this bass
and drum heavy soundboard. Jimmy is incredible too, especially in
Dazed And Confused, where he indulges in some exotic and strange sounding
soloing in the fast section that sounds quite breathtaking amongst
the bashing of the rhythm section. The instrumental machine is playing
exceptionally which makes up for Robert's sickness. Whole Lotta Love
was dedicated to road crew: "Any of our road managers that didn't
get arrested in Sheffield. This really is a bit heathen for a Sunday
night."

Comments:
An excellent show, even though Robert's voice is severely damaged
by the flu. The band is on fire here though! Dazed And Confused has
some truly savage playing and the rhythm section owns this show, even
though Jimmy plays very well too, especially on the last three numbers.
A complete soundboard show except for Rock And Roll missing as the
first song ... Robert's voice is gone but this is a really great instrumental
concert.

Comments:
First, the sound here is exceptional. Secondly, even though the entire
band is playing incredibly well, Bonham is amazing, using different
and unique fills and playing in every song. Black Dog receibed very
confusing introduction from the side of Plant: "This is a song
about a Labrador that used to come with when we went shooting people
... we don't shot animals!" Whole Lotta Love includes Hendrix's
Voodoo Chile and contains some really different playing, singing,
and drumming, making it one of the best! Overall, even though Robert's
voice is still recovering from the flu, this show is wonderful and
relaxed, and the band makes some great music here.

Comments:
What a great show. Robert's voice is still rough although the emotion
comes pouring through as always. The instrumental machine is unbelievable
though. Black Dog is a wonderful example of the three playing off
of each other, and Dazed And Confused is incredible. Page and Bonham
have this amazing interplay, and Jones and Bonham throw in just about
every time signature at the drop of a hat, creating a great effect.
The medley is long and excellent ... Plant throws so many obscure
references in ("Well all need someone to cream on"). Zeppelin
nearing the peak!

Comments:
The show finds the Zeppelin in a smaller venue on a small, carpeted
stage. This seems to lend itself to the type of performance given
that night - very relaxed, very loose, very cool. Sloppiness abounds,
even on well-rehearsed long-time standards, and occasionally yields
interesting differences. Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp was dropped out from the
set for the second time during this tour. Of particular and special
note is an off-hand performance of How Many More Times, which had
been retired just over two years prior. You can hear the band play
off of each other as they all take turns guiding the music's direction.
Plant's voice is shot for most of the performance, typical for the
time period. Page experiences sloppiness syndrome on occasion and
keeps most of his solos a bit subdued. Bonham also seems to withhold
some of the flair - extra fills and subtle nuances - for most of the
show. Jones, however, other than a meandering introduction to Thank
You, lays down his bass lines as excellently as ever.

Comments:
The band play very well. All the songs are performed solidly. Page’s
solos are spot on, and Bonham puts in some great fills. As well, Plant's
voice holds up great. But there is a sense of the band being somewhat
tired. But, again, if you go back and listen to those Scottish shows
for comparison, you can see that they were pretty tough to beat and
perhaps might’ve taken a little bit out of the band. In any case,
this is a relaxed and good show. The audience is extremely well-behaved,
but also very very quiet. At times you forget that they’re even
there. And since the band do seem to take their time between songs,
the silence from the audience is punctuated all that much more. There's
an unusual passage just after the fast instrumental and Oriental riffs
part, just before San Francisco. This would reach perfection two months
later in Germany, at some of the best concerts ever given by Led Zeppelin.

An average, although still excellent show. Robert's voice is very
strong and the band just plows through the set. Pagey playd (I Can't
Get No) Satisfaction opening intro just before he launched The Song
Remains The Same. Dazed And Confused contains more funk and jazz than
heavy rock and is very good. Page's bow solo is very different, and
he plays call and response with himself, using octave jumps to create
a startling effect. The medley at the end is great fun as always and
the end of that and the encores are played with blazing speed and
power. A taster of shows to come from this tour.

Although the sound is borderline good/very good, the show is hot!
Robert's voice starts out a little rough but develops into a devastating
howl, and the band is playing as well as any night on this tour. The
songs are extended, changed and played with such ease that it's frightening.
Check out the savage Dazed And Confused, and the amazing medley. Ramble

Comments:
This is one of the greatest Led Zeppelin concerts ever and Dazed And
Confused here must be the best ever version .. absolutely amazing.
The whole band, but especially Jimmy, is just unstoppable in this
show, playing with such force, guts, dynamics and passion that it
must be heard to be believed. The boys are in an excellent humour
maybe with the exception of Jonesy. Plant: "Mr Jones has colic
- must be careful! So all your spiritual feelings must go straight
to Mr Hones' stomach." Some time after he also jokes: "It's
very nice to be here in Vienna ... you've even got some good groupies!"
Dancing Days wad introduced as a song "about little schoolgirls,
not too young mind you, and my love for them ... remembered what happened
to Jerry Lee Lewis, I think I'll take it easy." Truly outstanding
sound and a concert that defies words!

Another absolutely fabulous and exceptional show from the 1973 European
Tour ... quite possibly the best Led Zeppelin tour ever! The entire
band is playing better than ever before or since, and Jimmy in particular
is absolutely incendiary and beyond words. Every song is nailed with
amazing playing and Robert's voice for the most part is fairly strong
and bursting with passion. Dazed And Confused is one of the best ever
and the medley is outstanding. It is getting to be difficult to compare
these European concerts ... they are all phenomenal.

A great show from Zeppelin's murderous European tour of 1973. The
sound is exceptional, and even though his voice is rough, Robert is
very energetic. The playing is amazing, quite possibly the peak of
Zeppelin's career. Jones and Bonzo are relentless and Jimmy is so
amazing it brings tears to my eyes (as a fellow guitarist!). The contrasts
of soft and loud make it wrenching, and some quotations in Dazed And
Confused from Rollin' and Tumblin' are a treat.

Comments:
This show belongs to Page. The playing is overall fantastic through
the whole show. Plant throws in a few shouts of Cold Sweat prior to
San Francisco (and later before the Whole Lotta Love melodies). Bonham
tries shifting into The Crunge during Dazed And Confused, but no one
else follows his lead. Not to be denied his efforts, he then launches
into a battle with Page. It progresses into an exchange not heard
since Bring It On Home. Furthermore, at the end of the battle, Page
plays the chords that would have lead back to Bring It On Home's main
theme. A classic in a classic! The D'yer Mak'er part of Everybody
Needs Somebody To Love amounts to nothing but a few "Oh"s
from Plant but it's still great.

Comments:
The fact is, every show Zeppelin performed in Austria and Germany
in March of 1973 is a gem and they each have a characteristic to them
that makes them wonderful in their own rights. Vienna is high energy
and satisfying, Munich is smooth and more stretched out on the improves,
Berlin is tight but also very heavy and charged, Hamburg is technical
and frantic, and Offenburg is the tightest and most confident overall.
But this show is perhaps the technical and inspirational peak, especially
for Page and Bonham. It has all the playing and energy of the other
shows, but with so much more charisma. Page’s guitar work and
Bonham’s drumming in Dazed And Confused are both unbelievable.
They pull out phrases and rhythms the like of which they hadn’t
done before and will not achieve again on this tour. Every improvised
note is played with an authority and power that is superiorly different
from the other shows. Old riffs and passages have a new color to them
and the solos just flow endlessly. It is as if they each kept going
further and further out on a limb, pushing the envelope of their abilities.
After this they were never able to really play with this amount of
spirit on this songs this way again!

Comments:
France receives Zeppelin in a storm of cheers! As for this performance,
it is perhaps the sleeper hit of the entire European 1973 tour. A
straight-forward and no-frills show, this gig is a definite consolidation
show. Whereas Page and Bonham seemed to have toned down their incredible
technique at the shows in Lyon and Nancy, here in Paris they are definitely
back at it, and this show features more stunning playing from the
both of them. All of the usual spots are performed excellently ...
the solo portion in Over The Hills And Far Away, Since I've Been Loving
You, Dazed And Confused, Stairway To Heaven, the Whole Lotta Love
medley ... Again, more of that unpredictable rhythmic fury from Bonham,
and that fluid and emotionally expressive playing from Page. This
might actually be the duo's most polished performance of the tour,
having just enough of that frenetic energy from the week before, but
mixed with a confident and effortless presentation. What makes this
particular show all that more of a standout is that this is also the
best voice that Plant has been in since before his vocal crash in
January.

Comments:
Just like the night before at the venue, the performance is again
wonderful. Like every show on this tour, the highlight is the interaction
between Page and Bonham. Since I've Been Loving You, Dazed And Confused,
Whole Lotta Love ... And just like the night before, with Plant's
renewed vocals, the ensemble is again in perfect synchronicity. But
if any of the group could be given preference, amidst all of this
excellence, perhaps the biggest star of the night is Bonham, who in
particular gives no let up at this show. His playing is as spontaneous
and as satisfying as it has been all tour. Thankfully, the rest of
the band are right there with him. Everyone has room to breathe, and
the songs are executed perfectly. Apart from Plant's complaints of
not being able to hear his stage monitors, the show goes off without
incident. Misty Mountain Hop gets Plant's: "This is a song about
the English police, and a bad case of hashish." Just before Stairway
To Heaven, Plant tells someone in the audience that they look like
a "French Car Driver!" After the song, he makes a joke in
French to the audience about being tired, to which they respond "No!".
Whole Lotta Love starts with a nice improv'd jam from Page, with Bonham
and Jones joining right in behind him. Bonham starts a fantastic stop-start
funk beat to start off the theremin section, and as the band continues,
Plant can be heard singing to the audience in French to calm down.
The band give the audience a rare treat by including a performance
of I'm Going Down just before the Boogie Chillun section.

Comments:
The second show of the US Tour in front of a record breaking audience
that is also completely out of control! "Hello. It seems between
us we've done something nobody's ever done before ... and that's fantastic!"
Robert asking the crowd for calm here and there. The playing varies
between brilliant and sloppy. Dazed And Confused is a fine example
of this. Some sections sound great and others have Jimmy way by himself.
The drum solo segues into Heartbreaker and then into Whole Lotta Love,
the only time this is ever done. A very good show but not tops and
nowhere near the nirvana reached in just a week.

Comments:
This show is spectacular. The band is in top form and deliver one
of the best from this tour. Jimmy's playing is incredibly fluent and
great, especially on Misty Mountain Hop leading to Since I've Been
Loving You. Over The Hills And Far Away has few very unusual and exciting
guitar passages by Mr. Pagey. Dazed And Confused is beyond description,
and the whole show is timeless. "Malacum Salaam! - It's a bit
of Indian." says Robert at one point.

Comments:
If the previous show was nirvana, this one is beyond that. An excellent
show with rowdy audience that caused the reaction from the side of
the authorities. "We've got to get these house lights down. It's
pretty pointless us bringing our own lights, if we've got these things
going on. Mr Cole, can you take your dress off and get these lights
turned down please?" asked Plant in rather humorously mood. His
voice is cracking and breaking all over the place, but the band is
playing exceptionally well, and from Dazed And Confused on, this show
reaches its peak. Dazed has a unique, very dark and thrilling bow
solo and Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love and the encore are gutsy and
raw and Robert has recovered. John Bonham was introduced as the Drag
Queen of New Orleans.

audience recording. 144 minutes.
Details: The tape is highly overloaded
and it is obvious that the equipment used originally to record this
concert was not enough resistible to accept such loud so listening
it is sometimes very painful, especially the last one thrirty of the
show is married with heavy distortion.

Comments:
One word describes this show...violent! The band's playing and attack
is relentlessly aggressive ... listen to No Quarter, Dazed And Confused,
Heartbreaker ... they are pushing everything to the limit. The vibrant,
overloading recording only helps to emphasize this quality ... this
is a great show; Robert really pushes himself to the max with the
rest of the band. Misty Mountain Hop was tonight introduced as a song
"about what happens when you take a stroll on a Sunday afternnon
with a packet of cigarette papers and some good grass and ... I'm
not advocating it ... just telling the story!"

most part, balances equally with the rest of the instrumentation.

Comments:
This is all that exists from this show. A mixed performance rushed
and tense for the most part as Jones is playing with fractured ribs!
"John Paul Jones has got two fractured ribs and he's still managing
to stand. I think that's fantastic! That's not really fun at all ...
we thought he'd got the clap." The first three numbers are very
rushed and sloppy and also Celebration Day is plugged with problems
with monitors but Since I've Been Loving You is outstanding and Dazed
And Confused is rather loose but very exciting and energetic.
